I am particularly interested in finding someone with experience in Bayes nets. The location is at the main Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. Inquiries and/or resumes should be submitted to Dr. James (Jay) Pittman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Responsibilities center on incorporating research into the Microsoft Handwriting Recognition (HR) engine. Experience in handwriting recognition technology is not required, but a solid background in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Statistics is needed, as is the desire and ability to learn new techniques from textbooks or research papers. The HR engine is being developed for English and Japanese and includes components that implement neural nets, hidden Markov models, signal processing, statistical search, n-gram statistical language modeling, and context-free grammar language modeling. Improvements to the HR engine are targeted at increasing performance and accuracy, and improving usability problems for mainstream use in applications, such as note taking into Microsoft Office. Qualifications required include at least a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, EE/Signal Processing, or related field. A strong interest and ability to write and support your own code in C/C++ is crucial to being successful in the group.
